You have got to be kidding me

[pegkerr]

This "tip" was included with a series of e-mail tips I received from the Dollar Stretcher today:

I save time and energy with a little housecleaning trick I learned from a friend. If you've ever scrubbed the sticky goo from the top of your refrigerator, you understand how cooking oil and smoke can mix with dust and make a mess. Now I just cover the top of the fridge with a layer of clear plastic wrap. When it gets dirty, I peel it off and throw it away, and then I replace it with a new layer. Whenever I can take short cuts and eliminate even a small portion of housecleaning, I'm happy.

Ordinarily, I like the tips I get with Dollar Stretcher, but I'll have to admit that when I read this, I thought, Lady, what kind of stuff are you smoking? Do you expect me to care what the top of my refrigerator looks like? Ever???

Jeez. Get a life. One that doesn't involve worrying about the tops of refrigerators.

I dunno, it's a valid point. Maybe it's because we perceive the woman as in control with regard to starting new relationships?

Let me amend:

And why do the tall men ALWAYS pick the short women?? Listen buster, leave the short women alone they have all the short men to pick from!

Incidentally, my grandpa was tall and he picked my short grandma to marry. My short cousin picked a tall man for her husband too. Go figure. :-)

Thanks. Incidentally, the man I'm about to marry (who is 6'3"), when he was writing out a list of "dream characteristics" for his concept of an ideal mate, did have "tall" written down. I'm not sure how I fit that qualification, at 5'2". ;) (And I'd once vowed not to be involved with anyone over 12" taller than me.)

Mysterious, I tell you.

I vowed not to be involved with a guy that I look eyeball to eyeball with or one that I can peer over. :-)

They do seem to run a little to the short side round here. Must be the lack of sunshine stunting guy growth. The girls seem to get taller though. Someone should do a study. :-)
